5 Most valuable players at UEFA Euro 2020

#3 Jadon Sancho | England | €100m

England v Republic of Ireland - International Friendly

England superstar Jadon Sancho is the youngest player to make this list, as he's valued at a staggering €100m at the age of 21. Sancho has established himself as one of the Bundesliga's finest and one of the best English players overall in the last few years. With the quality possessed by the Borussia Dortmund winger, he will surely have his say at Euro 2020.

Although he had a relatively slow start to 2020-21, Sancho had a brilliant second half to the season and ended with 16 goals and 20 assists across all fronts. He also fired BVB to the DFB-Pokal, scoring twice in the final against RB Leipzig.

79 - Jadon Sancho has been involved in 79 league goals before turning 21 today. No English player's been involved in as many before their 21st birthday within the top 5 Euro leagues since 1992. Special.@OptaAnalyst is now live! The new website for data-driven storytelling.

Despite playing over 100 times for Dortmund, Sancho is relatively inexperienced on the international stage, scoring three and assisting five in 18 games so far.

#2 Harry Kane | England | €120m

Czech Republic v England - UEFA Euro 2020 Qualifier

Sancho might be short on experience for England, but the next player on this list certainly isn't lacking in this area. The Three Lions' skipper, Harry Kane, is set to enter Euro 2020 as the second most valuable player in the competition at €120m. It's hardly surprising to see Kane this high on the list, given his incredible credentials and that he has three years left on his current Tottenham Hotspur deal.

Kane became only the second player in Premier League history to win the Golden Boot and Playmaker Award in the same season. He topped the charts with 23 goals and 14 assists in 2020-21 and is possibly one of the most in-form players at Euro 2020.

79 - Harry Kane made his England debut on this day in 2015, scoring just 79 seconds after coming on in a 4-0 win over Lithuania. Beginning.Kane is now 21 goals off Wayne Rooney's record tally of 53 for @England. @OptaAnalyst assesses the possibility of him breaking that record.

The 2018 World Cup Golden Boot winner is the highest active England goalscorer with 34 goals to his name in only 53 appearances.

#1 Kylian Mbappe | France | €160m

France v Ukraine - FIFA World Cup 2022 Qatar Qualifier

Two weeks after France suffered heartbreak in the Euro 2016 final at the Stade de France, Kylian Mbappe fired their junior side to the U19 Euros title in Germany. The French starlet almost single-handedly took them past a Ruben Dias-inspired Portugal in the semi-final, scoring a superb brace.

Fast forward five years to this summer, and Mbappe heads into Euro 2020 with Les Bleus not only as the most valuable player in the competition, but in world football. The French superstar has emerged as arguably one of the best players in the world over the last few years and helped France win the 2018 World Cup. He's scored 16 times overall in 42 games for France.

Mbappe has also been in surreal form for Paris Saint-Germain as well, scoring 42 goals and assisting 11 in 47 games across all competitions. Quite remarkably, since France's 1-0 loss to Portugal in the Euro 2016 final, Mbappe has gone on to score 174 goals and deliver 88 assists in 260 games for club and country. Les Bleus will need Mbappe to be at his very best to help them win Euro 2020.
